...The 45th president of the United States delivered his first speech to his country on January 20, 2017. Donald Trump is striving to protect the citizens and their country by encouraging them and giving them hope. Donald Trump’s inaugural address conveyed a positive tone of hope to the country by explaining in his speech that he will bring back the jobs and wealth of America and their citizens, achieve better border security, and setting stricter immigration laws. First, he elucidates in his address that he will restore the jobs and wealth of the native-born Americans from other countries. “We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.” (Trump) According to the chart, it shows us that the sentimental structure goes up and becomes more positive during this part of the speech. (Ingraham, How Trump’s Inaugural Address Compares to his Predecessors, Chart) He discloses this part of speech toward the end which also makes the structure more positive. He is giving the citizens hope by convincing them that he will provide them jobs and retrieve the wealth American has lost from other countries....

...Preface Throughout the following paper, I will make an argument as to what the essential characteristics of President-Elect Donald Trump’s Supreme Court Justice nominee are. The characteristics presented will be supported by several popular and several scholarly sources, which explain why these attributes are so valuable to a Supreme Court Justice. As the rhetor, a Republican, and a conservative, I am arguing for the sake of Republican and conservative values, both of which have created the United States into the prosperous and universally admired nation it is today. The issue at hand is that the Supreme Court of the United States is divided between four liberal and four conservative justices. The fate of the balance of the Supreme Court lies...

...understanding to think so considering the completely different cultures these two countries have. If I told you any different would you believe me,maybe, maybe not. You may not believe me but when South Korea gained its independence in 1945 the people of South Korea modeled their government after the United States government. Of course there are all sorts of differences to go along with the similarities our two countries have.While both the United States of America and the Republic of Korea have presidents that lead their countries, as well as three branches to their government there are some differences to their branches. Let us explore those similarities and differences these two allies have. The United States of America can classify under a few different types of government. The first type would be a democratic presidential system. The second option is a constitutional federal republic. Finally the final option would be a Liberal democracy. All these options mean we have an elected president as the head of state that leads the...

...The United States current election process is not a true representation of the people. There are various arguments on both sides of this debatable statement with valid points behind them. America has a representative democracy, meaning that the citizens do not directly vote for their president. Instead, a group of people known as the electoral college casts a direct vote for the commander in chief after a popular vote of the nation has been taken. There are 538 electoral votes dispersed between all 50 states. Once a candidate reaches 270 (50.18%) electoral votes they automatically win the presidential election. America’s representative democracy is not how we want our election to be handled Those in support of the electoral college may argue...

...Bernie Sanders’s donor-funded campaign has sparked the debate about Super PACs and presidential campaign funding, but many believe that another candidate brags a similar message. Donald Trump claims superiority over his rivals because "I'm self-funding my own campaign. It's my money" (Donald Trump). But, although he flaunts this campaigning strategy, it’s not completely true. Politifact has reported that “From the start of his campaign in April through October last year, individual contributions made up about 67 percent of total money raised for his campaign. The vast majority of Trump’s contributions to his own campaign — about $12.6 million (out of $13 million) — are loans rather than donations.” These facts prove that although Trump’s campaign is partially self-funded, the numbers do not amount to the sum of his promises. While Trump boasts total self-funding but falls short, Federal Election Commision data shows that 97% of Bernie Sanders campaign comes from individual donors (with only 2% self-financing and 1% PAC...

...due to an extensive period on the war for women’s rights. Women’s rights to vote completely changed the culture of America because it linked the population of women together and took the U.S. by storm, although some may say it didn’t affect culture because not many people were injured in the war for women’s rights, it is still one of the most culturally changing event in history. The women that started the fight for the right to vote in the United States of America were Anne Hutchington and Abigail Adams. Anne settled in Massachusetts with her family in 1634 and started to raise the issue of women’s rights in her colony. After gaining many followers she was banished from the community. Abigail, being the wife of John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States of America, she was able to express her concern for women’s rights while the U.S. Constitution was being constructed. Unfortunately, her attempts to get women’s rights into the constitution, were declined. Which began the war for women’s rights in America. In 1790, New Jersey gave the right to vote to all its free inhabitants, but that right was later changed so that every free man could vote, therefore excluding women. Most women weren’t concerned about their loss, but some women were extremely offended by their loss of rights, even though they only had them for a short time and they were never able to use them anyway. Then in 1833, Oberlin college in Ohio became the first college to allow both women and men to...

...Some would say that America’s development of the two party system began in 1787 between the Anti-federalists and the Federalists, while others would argue that this emerging form of government began in 1789 between the Federalists and the Anti-federalists who were eventually renamed the Democratic-Republicans. Since then, our government finds itself in the same two party system, but the two sides now hold opinions on things very different than the loyalty to the British Parliament. This system of government, once effective in representing our country, has since become ineffective, neglectful, and outdated. In the last presidential election in 2016, there were only two government parties on the minds of the people of the United States, and those were the Democrats and the Republicans. This past election, the republican candidate Donald Trump had 46.69% of the votes, and the democrat candidate claimed 47.75% of the votes. This leaves only 5.56% of the votes to go to...

When he opened his mouth to speak, his speech was what was written in the silence, the length of the silence becoming a living. And what had been “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States…” becomes “I do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully…” (112-113) Silence versus Voice: Exploring the Effects of the Stop-and-Frisk Law on Black Citizens in Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric.

...Branch is in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for enacting and enforcing the laws written by Congress and appoints the heads of the federal agencies. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise. The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws. These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange...

...Not only are some companies posting record profits, but the executive pay remains extremely high. Wal-Mart for example, reached $15.7 billion in profits. The CEO compensation was around $18.1 million, compare that to the $10 an hour two-thirds of Walmart associates receive. WalMart's CEO makes an estimated $16,500 an hour, more money than the average worker makes in a year. Companies such as WalMart indirectly contribute to the 75% of Americans on government assistance, who also have jobs. With such poor wealth distribution it makes purchasing power low and the American dream a thing of the past. Things such as owning a home are things of the past, most families are forced to rent. In 1950, the average family spent about 22% of its income on housing, while In 2012 the average family spent about 43% of its income on...

...tell someone [than], “I believe in you, you’re good, I’m there for you.” — Coach K, quoted in Time magazine’s selection of America’s Best 2001 There was shock and disbelief in “K-Ville,” the grassy area just outside Duke University’s Cameron Gymnasium. Late one Friday afternoon in July of 2004, hundreds of students gathered to speculate about the future of their beloved basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski (pronounced Sha-shefski and widely known simply as Coach K). Normally a place of tremendous energy and optimism, Krzyzewskiville had fallen into an ominous quiet. No one could believe the rumors. How could Coach K, the 57-year-old heart and soul of college basketball, even consider leaving for the glitz and glamour of the professional game? But the rumors were true. Krzyzewski was taking the weekend to review a five-year, $40 million contract offer to leave Duke and coach the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. One fan gazed up at Krzyzewski’s fourth-floor office overlooking K-Ville and pondered, “It’s not like he’s a deity. But sometimes when he’s up there”—pointing to the office—“he does look like Saruman gazing down from the tower in Lord of the Rings.”1 Since his arrival in 1980, Krzyzewski had grown Duke’s basketball program into one of the most successful college sports dynasties ever. Coach K was “[n]amed ‘America’s Best Coach’ in 2001 by Time magazine and CNN, [and] earned nearly every award imaginable. He was enshrined in the Basketball...
